The Art Room offers art as therapy to children and young people aged five to 16 who are facing challenges in their lives. Art Room practitioners support students and help them grow their self-confidence, self-esteem and engagement with education through art.

Northolt High School was chosen for the charity's seventh venue, helping up to 60 students per week, initially from the school but later it will also work with children from neighbouring schools in the London borough of Ealing.

The ICAP Art Room at Northolt High School was made possible thanks to a £105,000 donation from funds raised by City of London brokers on ICAP Charity Day in December 2012.

Kate had been due to attend the day but had to cancel her appearance because she was suffering from severe morning sickness in the early stages of pregnancy with Prince George.
